Discussion on NS6065

NS6065 : GirlsNS6065 : InfantsThese red sandstone gateways once led into Townhead Primary School (now demolished and replaced by a council car park). The school stood on Rotten Row, just west of the former "Red Barony" Church, and the building was still there in 1964 at least.Presumably the move of people from central Glasgow to peripheral estates and new towns (aka "overspill"), plus the demolition of substandard tenements, led in turn to the closure and subsequent demolition of the Townhead School.
